This trend suggests downward momentum, further validated by a negative Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) reading of -5.62, which signals diminishing positive momentum.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 43.48, indicating the stock is not deeply oversold but experiences moderate selling pressure, remaining above the oversold threshold of 30.
